[Application of the simplified method of optic recording for mapping focuses of the neuronal activity in the somatosensory cortex of the white rats].

In rats, a differential signal was used for evoking an optical image in the barrel-field zone which represented a difference between cortical images during the control and the stimulation periods. After a subtraction of averaged sequences of frames, an image of spots reflecting a probable location of activated groups of neurones was obtained. Natural low frequency stimulation of vibrissae is supposed to be the most effective.

[Dependence of human EEG spatial synchronization on the geomagnetic activity on the day of experiment].

Spontaneous EEG was registered under different activity conditions in 26 volunteers. The EEG synchronisation parameters were compared with the geomagnetic and solar activity on the day of experiment. A positive correlation of the EEG data with the geomagnetic activity was revealed, being most obvious in the frontal and central areas.
